On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Shanmian Beverage officially closed its shop, and all the indentured buddies and mother-in-law who used to live in Shanmian Beverage lived in Qiao's residence.

Now that there are more people, Qiao Mian doesn't have to worry about everything up and down the Qiao residence. As the housekeeper, Mrs. Qian not only takes care of the rest of the people, but also prepares all the ingredients and preserved fruits needed for the New Year. As soon as the lanterns are hung and the red pairs are posted, we are waiting for the arrival of the New Year's Eve.

At this time, Qiao Mian and Qiao Xing were in the room putting silver coins into their delicate and small purses. They were preparing some lucky money for their children.

Qiao Mian thought of something, "Little four and five, why don't you see anyone lately, where did you go to play in this winter?"

Qiao Xing sighed, and said with a smile, "Isn't it the Chinese New Year? The two children secretly bought rice noodles with the money you usually give, and sent them to Min'an Bridge early in the morning. These two children really don't forget their roots."

As soon as Qiao Xing finished speaking, he heard the laughter of several children chasing each other from the yard.

Qiao Mian pushed open the door when he heard the sound, and saw Xiao Si and Xiao Wu running towards the backyard laughing and holding a cub that looked like a doll in a New Year's painting. He quickly waved, "Little Si, Xiao Wu, come here."

A few children ran into the house kicking and kicking, bringing a cold air, and the tips of their noses were red from the cold.

Although Xiaosi was a little less vigilant than when he first came here, he was still a little restrained in his words and deeds, and Xiao Wu and Zaozao who were running around stood up and called out, "Father, what do you need from us?"

Qiao Mian hugged the dumpling that ran into his arms as soon as he entered the house, and said with a smile, "I heard from your little aunt, how many of you used your pocket money to help people in Min'an Bridge?"

Xiao Si tightened his grip on his younger brother's hand, his face changed slightly, "Father, it's only this time, from now on, no, we won't spend money recklessly!"

Xiao Wu and Zong Zong also bit their lips tightly when they saw their brother so nervous.

"Who said you were wasting money helping others?"

The faces of the children softened a lot when they heard this.

Qiao Mian took out a money bag from her waist, and handed it to Xiao Si, "What you have done is a good deed, and it is also a good deed. It is too late for Dad to be happy for you, so why would he blame you? These ten taels of silver are for you at a young age Knowing the rewards for doing good deeds, you can spend the money however you want."

After Xiaosi and Xiaowu looked at each other, they looked at Qiao Mian with bright eyes.

Seeing the children not moving, Qiao Xing knew they were embarrassed, took the money bag and stuffed it into Xiaosi's hands, and said with a smile, "Take it quickly, this is a reward from your father."

Xiaosi squeezed the purse tightly, pursed her lips, and smiled rarely, "Thank you, dad."

Qiao Mian smiled in relief.

"Then Bao'er has it, reward!" The fat zongzong in his arms shook his hand, rolling his watery eyes, "Do you have zongzong? Do you have it?"

Qiao Mian raised her eyebrows, "Did you do anything good for the brothers?"

Zong Zong really thought about it, Xiaopang gestured with his hands and said, "I'll help, move the noodles."

Qiao Mian looked around at the cub who was as fat as a ball, and thought, you would be a waste of help, so she smiled and pinched his peach-like little face, and looked at Xiaosi and the others, "Really?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu really nodded, and said with a smile, "My brother did help move the noodles." But it was almost all gone.

His own cub knew it well, so Qiao Mian believed it a little bit, but he still patted Zong Zong on the back and said, "Okay, I reward you, I reward you with a jujube!"

Zong Zong immediately shook his head and cheered, "I have to give it to Zao Zao too!"

Qiao Mian took the sugar jar on the table and shook it, "Okay, give it all!"

In the evening, when Lie Shan came back from outside, Qiao Mian told about Xiaosi Xiaowu helping Min'an Bridge.

Lie Shan took off his heavy robe and sat on the bed, "A Mian, what do you think?"

Qiao Mian sighed and said, "I was a little moved when I heard some children describe the bitterness and dilapidation of Min'an Bridge. There were nearly 300 taels left, and I was thinking that this money would be used to help the old and the young in Min’an Bridge, and I planned to arrange for my staff to deliver some thick clothes, cooked food and dishes to people in Min’an Bridge every day from New Year’s Eve to the fifteenth.”

"Silver is not a problem." After hearing this, Lie Shan patted Qiao Mian's hand, "I have inquired around in the past few days, and there are many rich kids in the town who are interested in buying this piece of jade in our hands and the price is very high."

"When I go to Baoyuhang to pick up the finished hairpin and jade pendant, I'll ask the shopkeeper about it. As for the money left at home, you can do whatever you want."

Qiao Mian had a bottom line in her heart, and then she nodded with relief, and then thought of something, "By the way, why do I see you frequently running to Baoyuxing these days?"

Lie Shan held his lips and smiled, "I'm going to learn scriptures."

"Learn the scriptures?" Qiao Mian was puzzled for a second, and then said in surprise, "Could it be that you want to make a fortune?"

"Exactly." Lie Shan laughed, "I originally wanted to wait for the shop to be completed, and then I would give you a surprise. I didn't expect you to find out so soon."

"What benefits did you give to the shopkeeper, that he asked you to follow suit?"

You must know that people who can work in the town now have more or less two brushes, and they will not accept apprentices easily, let alone let others steal their teachers, especially in the jade carving industry, which is more rigorous.

Lie Shan said leisurely, "It's not good, I just gave him some scraps of white jade."

Tsk!Prodigal!

Qiao Mian couldn't help but take a deep breath, this white jade is so precious, some scraps might be able to make two white jade finger rings!

Now that he has promised to go out, he can only sigh, "Forget it, I don't want the child to be caught by a wolf, so just give it."

The next day is New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu ran out of the house fully dressed, and Zong Zong, who was only four years old after the new year, could not even dress. Watching his brothers running out, he was so impatient that he took his short legs with one hand. Wearing a little red jacket and wearing tiger-toed shoes in one hand, she ran to find Qiao Mian, with a worried date on her back.

At this time, Qiao Mian and Qiao Xing were also planning to wake up the children, and they happened to run into those brats who dared to run around in their underwear in the midst of winter.

Qiao Xing quickly ran over and hugged Fat Zong Zong, pretending to be angry and said, "You little bastard, you dare to run around without wearing a cotton coat!"

"Heck, run away, Bao'er is in a hurry!"

The two quickly brought the two children into the room.

Zao Zao pointed at the rice dumpling and whispered, "Father, brother is running around, don't let me dress you!"

Qiao Mian glanced at Zong Zong, who was being hugged and put on clothes by Qiao Xing, and then pinched the little face flushed red from the cold, "Don't worry about this naughty bastard in the future, you are not his child bride-in-law, let him Learn to wear it yourself."

Zao Zao blinked her big eyes and looked at Qiao Mian suspiciously, and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, what is a child bride?"

Qiao Mian "It means that two people set up a marriage when they were young, and they will become husband and wife when they grow up."

Zao Zao's little bun wrapped in red thread swayed, and he nodded half-understood.

"I've said a few words!" The dressed Zong Zong ran to Qiao Mian's legs, holding Zao Zao's little hand without relaxing, and said with a smile, "Ming Ming is Bao'er's child bride, and Jun Jun, Zao Zao too !"

After finishing speaking, I sighed and patted my small chest, "Bao'er has so many child brides, Bao'er, it's so hard!"

Indistinguishable-

group-

Qiao Mian and Qiao Xing "..."

Qiao Mian pinched his mouth dumbfounded, "Little Huaxin, you can shut up now."

Fat Zong Zong shook his hands in protest, and his words were incoherent, "Ha, yes, huh, huh, huh." And the little flower next door.

It's a little flower boy with a stone hammer!

After the whole family finished their sumptuous lunch, they took their sedan chairs and took their servants to Min'an Bridge to give alms.

The guys quickly unloaded the food and items on the carriage, and the group of beggars in ragged and thin clothes scrambled to surround them. There were shoving sounds and crying "OK"

Qiao Mian roughly counted, not counting the disabled young and middle-aged people, there are about 40 to [-] frail old and young people.

Mrs. Qian's face was serious, without any panic, and she shouted at the top of her voice, "Everyone line up, line up, this is the new year's goods bought by the shopkeeper Qiao of Shanmian Beverage, there are so many things, don't fight, don't grab, everyone has something !"

The crowd was still a mess, but no one was scrambling to grab things.

Xiao Si was the first to jump down from the carriage to help, his thin back was straight, and his voice was immature like a teenager, "Everyone, don't crowd, the old people and children come to the front, and the others are behind. When will the line be lined up?" , distribute food to everyone!"

As soon as these words came out, the mess suddenly became peaceful. Although the team stood crookedly, it was much better than the chaos just now.

Because of the dry and cold north wind blowing outside, Qiao Xing and Qiao Mian coaxed the rice dumplings and Zao Zao in the car, and Lie Shan took Xiao Wu out of the car to help.

Several people in the team looked at each other with disdain in their eyes, and whispered to themselves, "Brother Laizi, isn't that the fourth boy and the fifth boy? Look at their arrogant appearance, they are also slaves to others, like dogs. We are not as comfortable as beggars for people to be called around."

Er Manzi was the one who indirectly killed Xiao Si's grandfather. Ever since that incident happened, he heard that a vicious man was asking about him. Dare to return to Min'an Bridge, and this time I came back because there are always people coming to Min'an Bridge to give alms every New Year's Eve.

He curled his lips and mocked, "This kid is only capable. Don't bother with him for now. When you get this thing for nothing, then find a chance to deal with these two brats!"

When Qiao Mian opened the car curtain to watch, she suddenly saw a group of people from a distance, and it didn't take long to see that the leader was the newly appointed Master He!

Qiao Mian thought for a while, got out of the sedan chair, and when Mr. He came in front of him, he first bowed, "Caomin has seen Mr. He."

The servant next to Master He saw the bustling scene, looked at Master He again, and said hesitantly, "My lord, our things..."

Master He took a look at what Qiao Mian and the others brought, and found that there were not only raw meat and rice noodles, but also quilts!Compared with the porridge and steamed stuffed buns that I brought, they are really shabby!

Presumably this couple is really kind-hearted and generous!

Master He also knew what the boy meant, but he didn't feel ashamed.Do as many good deeds as you can, and you don't need to compare with others.

Mr. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Qiao, you don't need to be polite." Then he waved to the boy, "Go and serve the porridge."

A few servants hurriedly lowered their heads and agreed.

Mr. He is very talented, with a gentle smile in his words, "I have heard that the shopkeeper Qiao of Shanmian Drink is a kind-hearted person. He not only adopted a few beggars, but also often helped beggars. Now I see that it is true. "

"The grassroots also came from hard times, so if you can help, it's nothing."

Mr. He shook his head and said, "There are countless merchants in Shun'an, and their tempers are full of pride and irascibility. Every day beggars are beaten or scolded. Who can help the orphans and the disabled on New Year's Eve? Shopkeeper Qiao, you don't need to be humble. You have done a lot of good deeds." , Compassionate and lonely, this official sees it."

Qiao Mian did not expect that because of this rescue, he would be able to catch up with Mr. He, and he was more or less happy in his heart. After all, more and more shops will be opened in the future, and there will be no shortage of right and wrong. If he can make a good impression in the eyes of Mr. He Impressions are also a good thing.

He bowed again, "My lord's absurd praise."

Master He smiled, and just about to say something, he heard an angry roar from the crowd.

Qiao Mian frowned, and looked back, it was Xiao Si!

The author has something to say:

Coming to a new shop soon, make money and make money!

Baby Zong bowed his head in thought: I'm afraid I'm the only baby in the world who has four child brides-in-law.
